On Saturday, 28th of May 2005 the Mamboday 2005 was held in Bonn, Germany. What began as a vision of a few people from the german Mambers.com subforums a year ago finally became reality this weekend. About 200 visitors followed the interesting lectures and workshops in three luckily well climated conference rooms. I was one of the speakers there and made a workshop about component development. This is my report from the largest Mambo event in the world.

From time to time modules are created, which only contain a few lines of HTML code. Recently I came across a module, which only contained one line of Javascript code. What many people not know is the fact, that such modules can be created in a few seconds inside Mambo. I today created a small flash movie, which shows you how to do that.

With Mambo 4.5.1 the template engine has changed again. The developers aim is to prepare the system for the upcoming changes in Mambo 4.5.2 and Mambo 4.6. At the moment all 4.5 templates do run inside Mambo 4.5.1 without any problems. But it is recommended to change your templates to the new functions to stay upwards compatible.

To make this as easy as possible for every designer, Mamboportal.com has written a small tutorial for you. We show you detailed, which changes have to be made to get your template ready for 451.
